Verdict

Triplemoon comes here in great heart and can bring up her three-timer, with Party Ploy and Tass Heel among a number of others to consider. The selection finished a neck ahead of Party Ploy at Redcar on October 4 and, although a pound worse off, can win again. She is also a course and distance winner and her stable is in good form. Dance Light, a half-sister to Hugs Dancer, won four on the bounce last year. She has been absent for 375 days now but, if fit, will go well. Swynford Pleasure is capable of winning from her current mark, so has to be given a chance, although each of her career wins have come between June and August. Tass Heel won from today's mark at Catterick earlier in the month, so also has claims, and, while he is not a straightforward ride, Best Port is also entitled to be thereabouts. Prize Ring's two recent wins have come over hurdles, while Silver Coin has a five-pound rise in the ratings to overcome for winning at Catterick, although Dave Allen takes a useful three pounds off his back. Michaels Dream and Silent Memory each race in cheekpieces but, overall, their form leaves them with something to find. The bottom two are racing from well out of the weights. We'll follow the filly in form then and side with Triplemoon.
